A one-of-a-kind hanging pot

prusaprinters

<p>Hello!</p><p>This is a project I've been working on for a while. The whole thing started kind of like a thought experiment on how could I make a hanging pot that took advantage of the capacity of 3d printers to make complex organic shapes.</p><p>The first model was shaped like a droplet, &nbsp;but it had a flat bottom so it could be printed without steep overhangs.&nbsp;</p><p>Then it ocurred to me that if I separeted the model into a pot and a watering plate I could achieve the shape I wanted and even improve the functionality.</p><p>In time, I added some pieces to make installation easier and I tweaked the joints to get a smoother assembly experience. Although I would like to make some slight adjustments to the shape and maybe model a few variants that use the same system I think it's time I shared it here.&nbsp;</p><p>Anyways, the whole pot can be printed in a single plate. I recommend using white PETg for a longer lasting pot. I have tested all the joints on my MK3 so assembly shouldn't be too much of an issue. I've made a tutorial with a full explanation of the installation steps that can be found here: https://www.instructables.com/A-One-of-a-kind-3D-Printed-Hanging-Pot/. Just make sure that your nozzle is clean though, if a coloured string gets mixed in it will stick out and ruin the composition.</p><p>If you have any suggestions please let me know. Also I've added the CAD files, so feel free to adapt the design!</p><p>Happy printing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
